Becca is 100% correct.
Current political stage is more left vs right, progressive vs conservative, woke vs antiwoke. Russia is ally of conservatives, because their politics are far right conservative.
Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)
“waa waa trump is a russian puppet”
Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.
I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.
TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.
This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.
Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn’t Bernie also from there?
Democrat stronghold. No worries about Republicans picking up seats.
Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.

Fuck. See, that was easy, no censoring necessarily at all.
As in: Fuck off for using the r-word.
The war on all words that describe a negative trait continues.
I promise whatever the goalposts are set to will be the next inappropriate term.
I feel highly offended by your use of the word “goalpost”
runs to
mommodsI don’t know about that. What I do is try to listen to why a group thinks a word is offensive.
The thing with “retard” is that it has been used to refer to people with mental disabilities for a very long time. By saying “republicans are retards” you say “rebilocsns are as stupid as people that were born with a mental disability”.
Thing is, people with mental disabilities are still people. There are goofy, snarky, nice, some are even quite big assholes. Many can be a lot of fun to interact with. They are just people, even if they are not as intelligent as you or me.
Referring to people as retarded, to me, means setting mentaly disabled people as the baseline for beeing idiots. And I just don’t think it’s fair to reduce them to something, they had no saying in what so ever. They didn’t choose to be born that way and they shouldn’t be reduced to just that.
/rant I guess
Euphemism treadmill go brrr
Or people could just stop using slurs?
It’s not like there’s a short list of things to dislike about fascists without punching down on social minorities…
Is calling someone stupid a slur? Not saying that’s what the previous poster said, legitimate question
They are retards sorry but it’s true
Could you please not lump folks with learning and or intellectual disabilities with a bunch of spineless fascist traitors?
The bare minimum, that’s all people want. Show a fucking backbone and rage!!!
If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset
But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn’t lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.
Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.
My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.
I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.
Yeah, that was when the myth of the “liberal” media should have been permanently put down, along with the GOP, but nah, the MSM dutifully “both sides” it and so many (most?) veterans had zero problem with it. That was when the (D) party should have had its real ‘Houston, we have a problem’ moment, and started fighting the metastasizing problem of right-wing/fascist propaganda that gets merely parroted by the rest of the MSM, but alas, they did fuck-all while it just got worse and worse and worse.
Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?
They’ve literally been saying this shit for 10 years, it just doesn’t make it into the algorithms during election season.
It’s literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.
Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.
And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump’s multi-billionaire buddy.
I mean, that’s all we know in the open. I seriously doubt there weren’t background threats and bribes.
There’s always organic threats too from the
brownshirtredhat thugsThere are always background threats. It is politics after all.
The True President.
That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.
Yeah, I’m wondering what the hell is going on in Vermont, and can you guys ship it to the rest of the country?
Democratic stronghold. No need to moderate for Republican voters because they’re irrelevant.
She NEVER thought? Was she in a coma during 2016-2020?
Oh boy do I have bad news for you:
Terrorists? No, no, they were Freedom Fighters, for realsies!!
This lady for prez 2028
You’re assuming democracy will still exist.
They’re playing the Nazi/Putin play book with Project 2025.
The Nazi playbook ended with a suicide and a bunch of executions.
Thank You Representative Balint!!
